Thanks Jim. I was also thinking about how an SCA deployment unit would be loaded within the context of a J2EE container. For example, if two module JAR files are included in the WEB-INF\lib directory of a WAR file, then would we need to child classloaders to the WAR classloader responsible for loading each of the SCA modules. Or is there a different behaviour expected in terms of classloader hierarchy as part of the SCA runtime? Also, does SCA assembly model define how SCA modules are expected to be deployed in a J2EE environment?
